Chapter Ninety-Five: The Fall of Word of Mouth
Although Zhao Jie was not satisfied with Zhou Yan's behavior, when he walked in and saw Su Xiaoxiao's embarrassed appearance, he still pursed his lips, and handed the handkerchief to Su Xiaoxiao with reluctance: "These Diao people are too rampant, it's not your problem." ”
Weekly Banquet: ......
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and took the handkerchief, wiped her face clean, and her eyes were full of the chaos of the Fangcai Post House, and Zhou Yan took the officers and soldiers to rescue her.
Isn't my cousin in the county? How did you come back again?
My cousin is also thinking about her, right?
Su Xiaoxiao called up the system and wanted to check Zhou Yan's favorability, but he didn't expect that what was added was Zhao Jie's favorability.
As for Zhou Yan, it was still like a black mist, and he couldn't see any changes.
It took a day, the loss of the Jinshui Post House was finally counted, Su Xiaoxiao spent a total of seven stones of rice and eighteen bags of fine noodles for half a day, but the Jinshui Post House was robbed, and the property inside was almost washed away, and the one hundred and fifty stone rice and one hundred and seventy bags of fine noodles in the treasury all disappeared.
The people who interrogated the troublemakers only recovered 30 stone of rice and 58 bags of fine noodles, and more importantly, many of the guest officers in the post house were also injured, and all the belongings in all the rooms were gone, and many of them took advantage of this incident to ask for a price indiscriminately.
Su Xiaoxiao was helpless, but for such a thing that had no proof of death, she could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, in order to recover the favorability that had fallen to the point that was not as good as Lin Xing's, she could only take out the savings of her whole body.
However, she had only been here for a few months, and the accumulated family wealth was not enough for one-tenth of the loss this time.
The Jinshui Post House and Restaurant were destroyed again, and the priceless medicinal herbs she had grown were also mixed into the soil, and they couldn't be sold for a good price for a while.
Seeing that she couldn't take out the silver and was about to be torn apart, Su Xiaoxiao looked frightened, and only stepped back timidly.
Her watery eyes looked around, but Zhou Yan and Zhao Jie were only shaking their folding fans and saying something, and they didn't give her a look, and at the critical moment, Li Ke walked over.
He threw over a heavy money bag, which contained ten taels of gold and fifty thousand taels of silver, enough for Su Xiaoxiao to survive this crisis.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Li Ke, and then at Zhou Yan, she was silent for a long time, and saw that Zhou Yan really didn't care about her, so she completely lost her heart, and pushed the money bag back pretendically.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's silver is too valuable, Xiaoxiao really can't afford it, Xiaoxiao will find a way to get these silver, and ask His Highness to take it back."
Su Xiaoxiao looked innocent, and Li Ke's heart was even more itchy when he saw it.
He shook his head and said sincerely: "This silver is what this palace insists on giving you, this palace has followed my father's side since childhood, and I am naturally reluctant to see the beauty tired, Cangzhou is poor and bad, if you are willing, you can follow me in the future, and I can give you the best in everything." ”
Li Ke's "sudden" confession startled Su Xiaoxiao, she covered her lips in surprise, and subconsciously looked at Zhou Yan, seeing that he still hadn't changed much, she gritted her teeth in her heart, but her face was still pure and fearful: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" ”
"Su Xiaoxiao, are you willing to follow me?" Li Ke asked her.
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, as if she was really thinking about it, she said quietly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I am in trouble now, you gave me so much silver, is it for coercion, or out of pity, to send charcoal unconditionally?" ”
"Naturally, it's the latter." Seeing that the beauty misunderstood what he meant, Li Ke pointed to the sky, "From the time we met to the present, I have never meant to humiliate you with silver, this palace has never been so moved by a woman, even if you reject me today, these silver are voluntarily given to you by this palace, and you don't have to have any psychological burden." ”
Li Ke's face was sincere, as if he was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would not believe it, so he stuffed the money bag into Wang Rui's hand, raised his chin and asked her to take the silver to settle the matter.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyelashes trembled, as if she was moved by Li Ke, and she seemed to have concerns, and hesitated for a long time, before she asked in a trembling voice: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, will you really treat me well for the rest of your life?" ”
Li Ke nodded as if he saw hope: "It's true!" ”
After pondering for a moment, Su Xiaoxiao still pushed Li Ke's hand away and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have also seen many people in the post house, you are a royal family, how can I be worthy of being your concubine?" Even if you promise me, I won't trust a man's heart, there are too many women who have been deceived by men. ”
Li Ke hurriedly said: "You can follow me, I won't touch you, if you think my attitude towards you will change in the future, I can also let you go." ”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Li Ke with wide eyes, but he didn't expect Li Ke to give way here.
She nodded shyly: "Then say okay, you must not force me to do things I don't like." ”
"No, it won't." Li Ke's heart was about to be filled with joy, and even Zhou Yan was a little more pleasing to the eye, since this is Su Xiaoxiao's cousin, then he can be let go for the time being.
Li Ke walked past Zhou Yan, his shoulder hit Zhou Yan's body hard, Zhou Yan's body shook, and he was surprised when he met Li Ke's complexion, he turned his face sideways, and accidentally met Su Xiaoxiao's crimson complexion, which was clear.
Personal choice is personal fate, Su Xiaoxiao chose Li Ke to solve the problem at this moment, that is also her idea.
Zhou Yan didn't open his eyes, but he didn't want Su Xiaoxiao to hurry up and stop his way, and explained: "Cousin, it's not what you think, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually ......."
Zhou Yan shook his head and blocked the two of them with a folding fan: "Your choice has nothing to do with me, cousin, you think it's good for you." ”
Zhou Yan's attitude made Su Xiaoxiao realize that she and Zhou Yan were just distant cousins, and Zhou Yan's feelings for her could only be used.
She bowed her head and quickly adjusted her mood: "I know my cousin." ”
Nanchen came to invite Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao followed him out, and this time she left without bumping into Zhou Yan again.
A total of 33 people were detained in this Jinshui Station incident, and these people had normal family backgrounds and were far from receiving porridge.
The names of these people were publicized on the list, which played a role in some deterrence, and Lin Xing's porridge was more clearly stipulated, and now they were in strict order, and they were also full of gratitude to Lin Xing.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at this place fixedly not far away, inquiring about the rising favorability of Lin Xing in their hearts.
She felt cold in her heart, she had done so many good things for Jinshui Town and for the entire Cangzhou, these people couldn't see it, and Lin Xing only needed to give them some brown rice porridge and cornmeal without pain, and they would be grateful to Dade.
They deserve to eat these things too?
They should continue to eat bran vegetables like Su Xiaoxiao did before he came!
